Colossians 3:12-14 NIV

"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."

Forgive me Father, I have and will continue to fail.
Let not my mistakes be a stumbling block.
Let them be an opportunity to learn.
And as I lag behind when I fall,
And as I struggle to stand,Pass Me Not O gentle Saviour!

For, in You is my every good thought, word, deed.
You Who are Goodness.
You Who raise me up.
You Who rose from the deepest grave.
Be my high tower.
Help me see the destination You see.
And, in so doing, strengthen me as I journey.Be Thou My Vision.

Fill my being, Lord, with Your lovingkindness.
Fill me beyond what I can carry now.
Not to my personal limits, but to the potential You created in me.
And, in so doing, grow me.
Grow me forever that I may approach nearer to You.Nearer My God, to Thee.

Direct my mind and heart to You.
Show the evidence of Your glory in every moment.
The joys in the little things.
In the big things.
The joys realized through trials.
Brought through success.
The joys in Your holy plans.How Great Thou Art!

And, when I tire — tire of speaking, tire of writing, tire of thinking…
When these hurt because I don’t know what to say, write, or think…
(Because how can I possibly translate the explosions of internal expression that words do not and cannot contain?)…
Translate for me, and lift me in Your rest.‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus.

Make me to know the comfort of Your presence.
Banish the loneliness.
Banish the sorrow.
Banish the holes.
They do not belong where You, Almighty God, are welcome.
And You are welcome in my life.
I need You in my life.I Need Thee Every Hour!

“Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto Thee daily. Rejoice the soul of Thy servant: for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee. Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon Thee: for Thou wilt answer me.” Psalm 86:3-7 KJV
